Are you sure that some one who will add new features wouldn't forget 
about this
place? If you consider that we can ignore this I'll commit 
kenter/invalidate pair with
KASSERT().

Tell me if I am wrong, but as I understand this code "end" is not really 
last, but next to
last. Hm, may be this is other (potential) bug, probably we should 
rename 'end' to smth
else? (va + psz < va + psz)
